ABSTRACT
The family Picornaviridae is a large and diverse group of viruses that infect humans and animals. Picornaviruses are among the most common infections of humans and cause a wide spectrum of acute human disease. This study began as an investigation of acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in a small area of eastern Bolivia, where surveillance had identified a persistently high AFP rate in children. Stools were collected and diagnostic studies ruled out poliovirus. We tested stool specimens from 51 AFP cases and 34 healthy household or community contacts collected during 2002-2003 using real-time and semi-nested reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction assays for enterovirus, parechovirus, cardiovirus, kobuvirus, salivirus and cosavirus. Anecdotal reports suggested a temporal association with neurological disease in domestic pigs, so six porcine stools were also collected and tested with the same set of assays, with the addition of an assay for porcine teschovirus. A total of 126 picornaviruses were detected in 73 of 85 human individuals, consisting of 53 different picornavirus types encompassing five genera (all except Kobuvirus). All six porcine stools contained porcine and/or human picornaviruses. No single virus, or combination of viruses, specifically correlated with AFP; however, the study revealed a surprising complexity of enteric picornaviruses in a single community.

Placenta previa percreta with bladder invasion occurs rarely. However this disorder has become more common since the increased rate of cesarean deliveries. We present a 26 year old gravida 3, para 2-0-1-2 female with placenta previa, percreta and bladder invasion to stress out the importance of early recognition of this life threatening condition and to point out that the good outcome of this case was mainly due to the multidisciplinary approach chosen during the preoperative and post operative management. The Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Radiology, Anesthesiology, Urology, Neonatology and Pathology were fully involved. A surgical management was chosen since it is the most common and more accepted treatment of placenta previa percreta with bladder invasion.

Este estudio tiene como objetivo describir la experiencia de docentes del Curso de Graduación de la Escuela de Enfermería Anna Nery/Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, en la supervisión de alumnas en las consultas de enfermería a los pacientes portadores de diabetes mellitus e hipertensión arterial en una unidad básica de salud del municipio de Río de Janeiro. En este trabajo se enfatiza, principalmente, la utilización de un instrumento de evaluación del paciente durante la consulta, buscando optimización y la integración de la educación a la asistencia prestada. Se cree que la sistematización de la consulta de enfermería a los pacientes portadores de diabetes Mellitus e hipertensión arterial posibilita la identificación precoz de complicaciones y el establecimiento de medidas de prevención de los daños y de promoción de la salud de estos pacientes.
This study had how aim to report the experience of teachers of the Degree course in Nursing of the School of Nursing Anna Nery/ Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, in the pupils' supervision in the consultations of nursing the clients with diabetes mellitus and arterial high blood pressure in a health basic unity of the Rio de Janeiro. In this work, there is emphasized, principally, the use of an instrument of evaluation of the client during the consultation, aiming for the optimization and integration of the education and health care practice. It is believed that the systematization of the consultation of nursing to clients with diabetes mellitus and arterial high blood pressure, makes possible the precocious identification of complications and the establishment of measures of prevention of the injuries and of promotion of the health of these individuals.
